Question Regarding Papers Vs Templates

[OnieRN]

I have noticed that lately we've been getting some nice papers that are being shared as templates. How do we change those extensions? For the life of me, I have tried and it just doesn't work. I would prefer these to install as Papers and Not Templates. An Example is there are a lot of Military/Army papers and also some sports. Can I move to the other folder and change the extension? If so, HOW?

Any Help would be appreciated.

You can open it the template, then Publish as JPG. Save the file and then delete the template. Easy as pie!

OH Yeah

That does sound easy!

Marian, you are a genius! I was wondering about that same thing!!

Open the template then save it as a scrapbook then you get a folder with all the elements in it. The paper should be in there.

My Documents > ScrapbookMax! > Projects > "Scrapbook name" [what ever it may be] > Resources > Autoplay > Images ...... everything you have put in that scrapbook should be there even if you deleted the paper/element/photo etc

Hey Muma

The templates that I was refering to have nothing on them! There's nothing to get off of them. Who ever posted them, posted them as a template .smt extensition. They are papers not templates.

so what happens when you open the template in sbm? do you get the paper as a background?

[OnieRN]

Just Paper

It is just the paper. Nothing else. I would prefer just selecting and pullig in the papers and keep them stored in my paper files. I also received a nice collection of Velvet papers that was also formated with the .smt I finally had to delete all of them because it was a lot more waiting for them all to load.

This works just great Onie, I do that with mine. Just put the JPG that you published in your background folder.
